Subject:"Baby"licious Lyrics Quiz [ANSWERS REVEALED]

Written By:Henkon04/16/10 at 5:01 pm

Time for a new lyrics quiz, don’tcha agree? These songs (that all made Dutch Top 40) have the word ‘Baby’ in their title. Just give me the title and artist, please. In most cases, I’m looking for the original artist. There’s a few however that were made more successful by other artists (in Holland, anyway). And then there’s about 3 or 4 that you might have a hard time recognizing (or maybe don’t know at all). Good luck anyway. And please, no cheating.

Hints!06. This US trio had two #1 hits in UK, but this particular song only made it to #13. They're not related, although their name suggests otherwise.Walker Brothers]13. The singer can be heard on "Paradise By The Dashboard Light", although it's not her in the video.17. UK dance/breakbeat act (originally five, now down to three) that formed in 1990. They had two #1 hits in UK in 1996. This song reached #5 in 2002. They like rohypnol.18. One of two songs with this title (see also #47). If you substitute the first letter of the singer's last name for a C, you get the ultimate man in black Johnny Nash].19. Winners of the ESC for UK in the 1970's Brotherhood Of Man]. This song, released prior to their win, did not make Top 40 in UK.27. They started out with Prince and also sing about cascades.30. British group with tons of hits in the 1960's and 1970's. You can probably find them at the bus stop.Hollies]31. They were husband and wife before she launched a hugely successful solo career Ike & Tina Turner]. This song only made #88 in US.32. Even the bad times are good with this lot around. This song was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic (UK #4, US #13).37. A UK #3 for Alison Moira Clarkson. She had her breakthrough as a guest vocalist on a Beatmasters song (UK #7).38. This little known singer was born in Lancaster, S. Carolina in 1946. His first single was called "(It's Got To Be) Now Or Never". He also teamed up with Jenny Burton on "Nobody Loves Me Like I Do". This particular song, that didn't chart in UK or US, played in on the craze of the day (ca. 1979): a dance that required heavy hip (inter)action.40. A singer that scored most of her hits after her untimely death at the age of 27 Janis Joplin]. This song reached #42 in US.45. She likes your smile. But have you got the groove?47. One of two songs with this title in this quiz, but totally different from #18. This song, sung by a member of the Partridge Family David Cassidy], peaked at #11 in UK and #38 in US.

01. Well I’m a slow walker but girl I’d race a mile for you | Something About You Baby I Like - Status Quo

I can give you full points for #24 and #25, Peter.Oddly enough, it wasn't Nancy Sinatra who scored a hit with #7 in Holland, so I'm looking for another singer. Can you think of anyone else?And as for #21: that's actually a duet.

Good quiz Henk. I actually only recognize 4 of them (apart from the ones Gibbo answered)

I'm sure there are more you will recognize when answers start dropping in. But you got these four, Jason. :)

Hi there Henk. Haven't seen a quiz in a while, so I think I'll give this one a shot...

#36: "I'm Your Baby Tonight" by Whitney Houston.And number 20 is "Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears.

That's all I got for now. I knew a couple others, but they got taken already. Great quiz as usual though!

That's two for you too, Jeff.

#2. 'Your Baby Ain't Your Baby Anymore' - Paul Da Vinci (who had a voice that could frighten dogs! He's also the vocalist on #50. before The Rubettes formed as a proper group...)

Though Timi Yuro is the original artist for #13, it's not her I'm looking for. Another singer covered it in the (very) late 1970's, taking it to #7 in Holland.

Sadly, my knowledge of the song only stretches to Timi's version... :-\\

So, as there's 0.5 of an answer on offer, I'll try Status Quo as the artist of #1.

(Tom's is the better version, though!)
